Overall we had a pleasant stay at this place. It is quite central relative to most of the places we wanted to go. When taxi is limited (e.g. during rain), the BTS station is fairly close-by. A few massage spots and 7-eleven along the same street as well. The check-in process was a breeze. Props to the security guard who accepted our package for us upon special request, and helped us load our luggage into our airport taxi.
Though not necessarily deal-breaking, my friends and I have a few critiques:
- The address shown on Airbnb created some confusion for us. At the airport, we asked the information desk to help us translate the address to the Thai language so that we can show it to our taxi driver, but somehow they couldn't find it on their browser. The street name is said to be "Soi Suk Chai" as per Airbnb but later we found out that it actually is the same as "Sukhumvit" which is a more well-known street name -- not sure why there are two versions.
- The bathroom faucets have to be used with a lot of caution. Turn the tap more than halfway and you could find your shirt and pants wet, as the water shoots horizontally towards you (hint: look at the photos). The fact that such design exist is quite mind-numbing.
- The shampoo provided by the owner is of inferior quality. We did not expect top-notch branded ones given the price we pay, but this one is so bad we decided to buy our own.
- The swimming pool is not clean and algae can be seen along the walls.
